Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: The Jets are in offseason mode but is there really ever an offseason? If there is any news we will have it for you here. Yesterday we looked at the UFAs and RFAs for the Jets and Moose.

Note II: The Moose are also now in offseason mode. We concluded the season last Thursday with an End of Season Roundtable. We’ve also complied all the links to the end of season media availabilities here.

Note III: Jets 2022 1st rounder Brad Lambert (a WHL Champion) and his Seattle Thunderbirds are in Kamloops, BC for the Memorial Cup which got underway yesterday. He will first be in action this afternoon when his club will take on Peterborough.

Note IV: Join us this morning at 9 AM CDT on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show for two hours Jets, Moose and Ice talk today. We will be joined by Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun and Dave McCarthy of SiriusXM.

Jets news:

Sportsnet: Let’s Make a Deal: Examining Jets’ potential trade targets from Hurricanes. A good read from Wieber on a potential deal of Connor Hellebuyck or Mark Scheifele to Carolina and who might be coming back the other way.

Winnipeg Free Press: Jets could learn from the success of Florida and Vegas. (Paywall). This the same Panthers team that made the playoffs because Chicago beat Pittsburgh at the end of the regular season? The same Florida team that could easily have lost to Boston in game 5 if Marchand scores with seconds left? They are clearly on a magic run. The points in the article made by Mike concern: 1)  Maurice was not THE problem. 2) A little local flavour doesn’t hurt. 3) Trading a star player or two doesn’t automatically mean taking a step back.
